A Grooming Ritual for the Modern Viking

This comb is designed for the daily care of your beard. Its strong, smoothly finished teeth glide easily through even the thickest beards, detangling without unnecessary pulling, snagging, or damaging the ends. Unlike plastic combs, it doesn't create static electricity. It is the ideal tool for evenly applying and distributing beard oil or balm, thus promoting healthy and uniform beard growth. The comb should not be used for any purpose other than combing. Due to its solid nature, it should not be used as a prying tool or other instrument. If dropped on a hard surface, the fine details of the casting could be damaged.

The Comb as a Badge of Status

In Viking culture, a comb was not an ordinary daily object, but an important symbol. Archaeological findings prove that combs were a common part of the personal equipment of both men and women. A well-kept appearance, with groomed hair and beard, was a sign of cleanliness, order, and high social status, debunking the myth of the "dirty barbarian." A richly decorated comb made of a precious material like bronze would have been a treasure, the property of a jarl, a successful warrior, or a wealthy merchant.
Fun Fact: In many Viking graves, complete grooming kits have been found, containing combs, tweezers, and even ear scoops. This shows how essential personal hygiene was to them, even in the afterlife.

A Work of Art in Bronze and Leather

This unique comb is precisely cast from solid bronze (an alloy of copper and tin) using the ancient lost-wax method, which guarantees a perfect rendering of all details. The design is dominated by the central figure of a warrior with a helmet and a mysterious face, flanked by intricate Nordic knotwork and motifs reminiscent of drakkar prows. Included is a hand-stitched sheath made of genuine buffalo leather, which protects the comb from damage and allows it to be carried safely, for example, on a belt.

How to Care for Your Treasure

Proper care will ensure that this comb serves you for many years.

• The Comb: Bronze naturally develops a patina over time, which adds to its character. If you wish to restore its original shine, use a soft cloth and a polish suitable for bronze or brass. Always test any cleaner on a small, inconspicuous area first. After polishing, rinse and dry the comb thoroughly.
• The Sheath: Protect the leather sheath from prolonged exposure to water. Wipe away dirt with a slightly damp cloth. Occasionally, you can treat the leather with a conditioner or balm to keep it supple.
